In this episode, Chris sits down once again with Jodie Cook—entrepreneur, writer, and powerlifter—for a raw and insightful conversation about what it really means to show up as yourself. From hiding her strength to owning it, Jodie shares her journey of stepping into visibility, embracing discomfort, and building a brand rooted in integrity—not imitation.
They unpack the cultural pressures that shape how we present ourselves, how to know when you're truly being you, and why "enough" might actually be the goal.
